List of Star Trek characters (A–F)

This article lists characters of Star Trek in their various canonical incarnations. This includes fictional major characters and fictional minor characters created for Star Trek, fictional characters not originally created for Star Trek, and real-life persons appearing in a fictional manner, such as holodeck recreations.

Son of the late Teer Akaar and his widow Eleen on the planet Capella IV. Born 2267 shortly after his father was killed in a Klingon-induced power struggle, he was named after James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy, who helped to resolve the local conflict. Leonard James Akaar inherited the title of "teer," or chief, of the Ten Tribes of Capella IV. His mother served as regent until the boy came of age to rule. In the novels, Akaar (who was eventually forced to flee Capella with his mother due to another coup) grows up and joins Starfleet; we first see him serving as chief of security on the USS Excelsior under Captain Hikaru Sulu. Later, in the Star Trek: Deep Space Ninerelaunch novels, Akaar is a veteran admiral in the fleet.

Bajoran poet best known for The Call of the Prophets. Traveling in a Bajoran lightship, Akorem was the first to find the Celestial Temple (the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant); when he emerged about 200 years later, Benjamin Sisko gave up his title of Emissary so that Akorem could take it, a decision Sisko regretted when Akorem advocated a return to the D'Jarras (the Bajoran caste system). Sisko and Akorem went to the wormhole together, and the Prophets decided to send Akorem back to his time and reinstate Sisko as their Emissary.

Starfleet Academy cadet and friend of Wesley Crusher, a fellow team member with Crusher in Nova Squadron under Nicholas Locarno; Albert died during his squadron's rehearsal of a banned flight maneuver intended to impress the Academy's commencement ceremony attendees

Romulan subcommander of the IRW T'Met. He leads two other Warbirds to take possession of the USS Prometheus NX-59650, an experimental prototype Federation starship, from its Romulan hijacker, Commander Rekar. However, Almak's fleet opens fire on the Prometheus when he learns that Rekar is no longer in control of it.[1]

A shapeshifting allasomorph native to the third moon of Daled IV who served as guardian of the planet's leader, Salia, while she was being transported on the Enterprise-D. To the Enterprise crew, Anya assumed the form of an older human woman; her intrinsic appearance is unknown.

According to the theology of Ventax II, Ardra was a mythic being from the distant past who promised the population a thousand years of prosperity, followed by enslavement upon her return at the end of that epoch. In 2367, a female con artist was unmasked by Enterprise-D personnel after deceiving the Ventaxians into believing she was the deity by using technology to mimic various phenomena believed to herald Ardra's return.

Lieutenant Arex, voiced by James Doohan, was a recurring character on Star Trek: The Animated Series which ran on NBC from 1973 to 1974.[2] The series' writers and artists were able to create his unique alien look because the series was animated; creating such a character with a live-action actor in make-up would not have been feasible.[3] The character was later used in Star Trek novels and comics.

Arex was a Starfleet officer assigned to the USS Enterprise as navigator. Arex was a member of a tripedal species[4] (given as "Edosians" in Alan Dean Foster's novelizations of the animated episodes, but as "Triexians" in Peter David's New Frontier series) and had three arms and legs. Arex also sometimes took the conn, but he rarely left the ship on landing party missions.

Alien with exceptional linguistic capability who poses as a friend to Voyager helping them recover a badly garbled transmission from the Alpha Quadrant but uses the opportunity to set up a trap for the entire crew to be assimilated by the Borg

Starfleet corporal at the United Earth Embassy on Vulcan in 2154. After its bombing, Ambassador Soval performed a mind meld with Askwith and learned that Chief Investigator Stel was responsible for bringing the explosive into the embassy.

Klingon officer and one of three members of a covert strike force conducting surveillance of the Romulan delegation to StarbaseDeep Space 9 in 2371. He is the last of his party to be thrown into the brig.

Borg drone aboard a vessel in the Beta Quadrant who while regenerating is able to enter the virtual world of Unimatrix Zero as a free individual and meet with others, including Annika Hansen, like himself

Praetor Shinzon of Remus was able to obtain the disassembled B-4 and placed some special programming into him, so he could infiltrate the USS Enterprise-E to gain tactical information of the Federation from the ship.

A solitary child from an undetermined species who, desperate for a companion, used an illusory world to entrap William Riker in his specially modified cave on Alpha Onias III. Riker eventually saw through the young alien's illusions and brought Barash back to the Enterprise-D with him.

Although he may appear to be nervous and lacking in confidence, Reginald "Reg" Barclay is a highly talented Starfleet systems diagnostic engineer. Stationed aboard the Enterprise-D from 2366, Barclay had a tendency to spend more time inside the holodeck than in real social situations. He also suffered from severe transporter phobia in 2369, although he seems to have overcome this psychological barrier. He also spent time at Jupiter Station as Dr. Lewis Zimmerman's assistant on his EMH project.

While stationed aboard the USS Enterprise-E in 2373, and through a strange turn of events involving the Borg, Barclay was able to meet one of his idols, Zefram Cochrane. By 2376, Barclay's main focus was developing a means of communicating with the missing USS Voyager still stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

Although a holographic character in Julian Bashir's secret agent holosuite program, Professor Bare took on the look of Jadzia Dax during a malfunction. Bare was reputedly Earth's top seismologist in 1964, the year the program was set.

Starfleet commodore at Starfleet Command who contacts the Enterprise an hour after the disruption/distortion effects emanated from the dead planet the starship is orbiting. Barstow wants to know whether they are natural phenomena or mechanically generated, and, if the latter, by whom and for what purpose. He charges Kirk with finding out the specifics, but cannot assign reserve starships to help the Enterprise because he is evacuating all Starfleet units and personnel within 100 parsecs of her position.

Human male; husband of Amsha Bashir, and father of Julian Bashir. In 2348, he took his then 6-year-old son to a planet outside the Federation to have him genetically enhanced. When the fact came out in the open about three decades later, Richard accepted a plea bargain of a 2-year prison sentence to save Julian's career.

Commanding officer of the 23rd century Federation starship USS Bozeman, which became trapped in a temporal causality loop near the Typhon Expanse in 2278. Bateson and his crew emerged in 2368, unaware they had passed through 90 years of time, until Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise-D set them straight. (Bateson was also the first captain of the Enterprise-E)

Human male (April 24, 1987 – September 3, 2024); during a 2024 revolt in San Francisco where federal employees were held hostage, Bell made sure the hostages were not harmed. In an alternate timeline in which he was killed earlier, Benjamin Sisko stepped in to fulfill Bell's role in the pivotal historical moment. In a guidebook to Earth that Jake gave to Nog, Gabriel Bell is described as "the father of Earth's post-modern reformism," and shown with a picture of Sisko.

Starfleet admiral who serves as C-in-C in 2293, two months after the Klingon moon Praxis explodes. He tasks Kirk with being the Federation's "olive branch" in escorting the Klingon chancellor, Gorkon, to peace negotiations on Earth. He is addressed in dialogue only as "Bill," but he is credited as "Starfleet Chief in Command." (Noncanon: In the movie novelization, he is called "Rear Admiral William Smillie".)

Starfleet admiral who, in 2287, tasks Kirk with rescuing the Federation, Klingon and Romulan hostages on Nimbus III. He is addressed in dialogue only as "Bob", but he is credited as "Starfleet Chief of Staff". (Noncanon: In the movie novelization, he is called "Admiral Robert Caflisch". However, the Paramount-Pictures-sanctioned reference text The Star Trek Encyclopedia, by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda, has retconned the character's name to "Admiral Robert Bennett".)

Romulan centurion and one of two survivors of the crash of the Pi, a small Romulan ship, on the surface of Galorndon Core. Bochra stalks and captures Geordi La Forge, who sarcastically nicknames him "Commodore." However, when the planet's electromagnetic storms wreak havoc with Bochra's metabolism and La Forge's interface with the VISOR, the men put aside their differences and work together to locate and remodulate a neutrino beacon that Wesley Crusher has sent to help locate them. They're soon rescued by the Enterprise-D and Bochra is returned to Commander Tomalak's Warbird. (Continuity Note: Bochra uses the same Romulan salute that Decius first used back in the 1966 TOS episode "Balance of Terror".)

Boday

None

A Gallamite ship captain frequently mentioned, but never seen, that Jadzia Dax was quite fond of, that Kira Nerys was repulsed by, and that Worf was somewhat jealous of.

Groundskeeper of Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Headquarters. In addition to tending grounds, Boothby offered advice and otherwise acted as a mentor to several characters–including Jean-Luc Picard, Kathryn Janeway, and Chakotay–when they were attending Starfleet Academy. Boothby several times gave Janeway a rose. Picard, in whose opinion Boothby "is one of the wisest men he has ever known", calls upon his knowledge of the Nova Squadron cadets while investigating the death of Joshua Albert in "The First Duty." Species 8472 recreates Boothby on a planet designed to mimic Starfleet HQ. 8472-Boothby mimics his signature gesture of offering a rose.

Klingon officer and one of three members of a covert strike force conducting surveillance of the Romulan delegation to StarbaseDeep Space Nine in 2371. Bo'rak was the drunken Klingon in this episode's teaser.

During a crisis on board the Enterprise-D, chief engineer Geordi La Forge created a holodeck representation of Brahms, and later used her mission logs to create a personality for the representation. A year later, La Forge met the real Brahms, who found out about the holodeck program La Forge had created, and turned hostile. Later, after working with La Forge, she realized her arrogance and became friends with La Forge. In the alternate future timeline of "All Good Things...", La Forge married Brahms.[5]

Starfleet commander of the Epsilon 9 space station, which observes the Klingons' battle with V'ger and then the cloud's direct heading for Earth. When Branch communicates some real-time tactical information to the Enterprise, V'ger reacts negatively to Epsilon 9's sensor scans and destroys the station.

Ferengi liquidator, working for the Ferengi Commerce Authority. For a brief period, acting Grand Nagus. He's the one who discovers Ishka's illegal profit earning activity, and afterwards he does everything to turn Quark's life into a living hell. At one occasion he revokes Quark's business licence for some time. Later though he helps Quark rescue Ishka from the Dominion's captivity.

A Starfleet lieutenant, helmsman aboard the Enterprise-C until it traveled 22 years into the future when he became the effective XO after all other bridge officers were killed, then was endorsed for command by Jean-Luc Picard subsequent to death of Captain Rachel Garrett. Also, a love interest of an alternate time line's Tasha Yar.

Starfleet commander and a former Maquis member, best known as the first officer of the starshipUSS Voyager in the TV series Star Trek: Voyager. (Throughout the series, the special rank insignia designed for former Maquis members indicates that Chakotay is a lieutenant commander, although he is only ever referred to as "commander.")

Being a Romulan Senator, she was a representative of the Romulan empire for a short time aboard Deep Space Nine. She was set up by Section 31 to be accused of treason against the empire and imprisoned.

Deceased Starfleet officer, husband of Beverly Crusher and father of Wesley Crusher. He served aboard the USS Stargazer under Captain Picard, his friend, but died sometime during its mission. In "Family", when Dr. Crusher retrieved some of his things from storage, the label on the travel case lists him as "lieutenant commander", although the rank insignia on his old uniform indicates otherwise (lieutenant junior grade). Jack Crusher recorded a video message to his son Wesley during his infancy, to be viewed when he was older. Jack intended this to begin a series of pre-recorded video messages to Wesley, but because of his death, he only ever got to make one message.

CardassianGul and leader of the Gallitep labor camp on Bajor during the Cardassian Occupation. He was dubbed the "Butcher of Gallitep" because of all the atrocities committed there under his command. Never directly appears, only impersonated by filing clerk Aamin Marritza in his hope to be sentenced to death by a Bajoran court and executed.

In "The Trouble with Tribbles", Darvin is a Klingon who poses as a Federation official to sabotage Federation attempts to colonize Sherman's Planet. A tribble, sensitive to Klingons, hints at his true identity, which is confirmed by Dr. Leonard McCoy. Darvin is arrested.

According to dialog in "Trials and Tribble-ations", Klingon intelligence subsequently turned its back on Darvin, who spent the next 100 years posing as a human merchant going by the name "Barry Waddle".

Brill reprised the role for "Trials and Tribble-ations", in which Darvin gains passage from Cardassia to Bajor aboard the USS Defiant. Darvin uses the Bajoran Orb of Time to send the ship back to the time and place depicted in "The Trouble with Tribbles". Intent on exacting revenge on James T. Kirk, he plants a bomb in a tribble; the Defiant‍ '​s crew prevents Kirk's murder and captures Darvin.

A proud young Romulan officer who served aboard the Praetor's flagship Bird-of-Prey in 2266. He dispatched a coded message to the Praetor while the ship was under cloak, thereby breaking the "rule of silence." For this infraction, he was reduced two steps in rank. Later, he was ordered to place a nuclear warhead with a proximity fuse among the debris that was to be jettisoned from the ship. This maneuver succeeded in severely damaging the Enterprise. Decius was viewed by the ship's elder Centurion as having powerful friends who may not appreciate his being demoted, and which could mean danger for the ship's Commander.

Captain of the USS Enterprise before joining with V'ger, son of Commodore Matt Decker.[6] Decker's basic character outline was originally developed as part of Star Trek: Phase II before that project became The Motion Picture.[7] Some of this character's elements are similar to those of William Riker, the second in command of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation.[7]

Starfleet commodore and skipper of the starship USS Constellation until its crew were killed by an extraterrestrial-created "planet eater" Ultimate Weapon. Decker tried to kill the planet 'eater' by going on a suicide mission with one of the shuttles belonging to the USS Enterprise. He failed, but analysis of his attempt provided inspiration for the final solution used to defeat the machine.[8]

Starfleet lieutenant of French descent. DeSalle served as the Enterprise‍ '​s navigator ("The Squire of Gothos"), botanist ("This Side of Paradise") and assistant chief engineer ("Catspaw"). In "The Squire of Gothos", DeSalle is part of the landing party that encounters Trelane. In "This Side of Paradise", DeSalle discovers that the colonists on Omicron Ceti III are the only life forms to survive exposure to the planet's Berthold rays. He also performs a quantitative analysis of the crops being grown by the colonists. In "Catspaw", DeSalle commands the Enterprise while Captain Kirk, Commander Spock and Lieutenant Commander Scott are being held prisoner on the surface of Pyris VII. He directs the crew's effort to pierce an alienforce field to rescue the landing party. (Conjecture: The Star Trek Concordance, by Bjo Trimble, lists his first name as "Vincent".)

Former Starfleet ensign who defected to Romulus. He returns to the Federation after becoming disillusioned with the Romulans. He also relays a message from Ambassador Spock that the Enterprise-D must rendezvous with a Corvallen freighter, which is supposed to be carrying Romulan vice proconsul M'ret and his two top aides, who are defecting to the Federation.

Starfleet officer and "space commander" of the starship base on Corinth IV. He requests information regarding the Enterprise‍ '​s delay at Planet M-113; he says the starship has "supplies he urgently needs".

Romulan commander of the IRW Valdore. She attempts to ingratiate herself to Praetor Shinzon by flirting with him, but he prefers that she demonstrate her allegiance by watching Commander Suran, whose impatience and lack of respect have given Shinzon pause. Donatra fears that a war with the Federation will mark Romulan children for generations to come. She eventually rejects Shinzon and fights with the Enterprise-E against the Reman WarbirdScimitar. Although the Valdore is severely damaged in battle, Donatra is able to offer aid to the ram-damaged Enterprise after the Scimitar is destroyed.

Klingon male. The House of Duras was a notably aggressive and dishonest dynasty of the Klingon Empire. His father was a traitor who betrayed the Khitomer colony to the Romulans. When Ja'rod's treason was discovered post-mortem, High Council-member Duras had the blame placed on Worf's father, Mogh. His House Included his two sisters, Lursa and B'Etor, and his illegitimate son, Toral.

Dohlman of Elas. Her planet's Council of Nobles offered her in marriage to the ruler of Troyius, a neighboring planet in the Tellun Star System, to prevent the escalation of hostilities between the two worlds. En route to Troyius on the Enterprise, Elaan stabs Ambassador Petri of Troyius for being in her quarters without permission. Later, when Elaan sheds tears (which act as a "super love potion") because she feels that nobody likes her, Kirk wipes them away and immediately becomes biochemically attracted to her. However, he's able to shake off the effects while in combat with the Klingons. In accordance with his duty, Kirk delivers Elaan to Troyius to be married, although neither is happy at the prospect.

Talarian captain of the Q'Maire whose biological son was killed by humans. In accordance with Talarian customs, he claimed the human boy Jeremiah Rossa as his own son, renaming him Jono. Years later, when Captain Jean-Luc Picard intended to return Jono to his human family, Endar was ready to go to war to retrieve his adopted son.

Starfleetadmiral who refuses to give Spock permission to violate the planet Gideon's sovereignty and beam down to locate the missing and allegedly kidnapped Captain Kirk. Fitzgerald has no choice because Spock cannot prove that Kirk's life is in danger.[9]

^Casting Note: Richard Derr also played Commodore Barstow in "The Alternative Factor". In the interest of continuity, some Star Trek fans have suggested that, since "Fitzgerald" was never named in dialogue, it can be disregarded and "Barstow" retconned in its place. However, "Fitzgerald" is identified in the script and in the ending credits, so, regardless of the oversight regarding the actor's two roles, canon demands that "Fitzgerald" should stand.
